LIS Pedagogy Chat - Sept. 27th
Please join us at an upcoming LIS Pedagogy Chat where we will discuss what we see as some of the implications of information literacy being recognized as a discipline! While the disciplinarity of information literacy has been explored by the British research team of Sheila Webber and Bill Johnston since the 1990s, it can be difficult to distinguish it as a discipline because of its ‘transdisciplinary’ nature, meaning that its practices appear within other disciplines, such as composition, chemistry, marketing, and so forth. In this conversation, we will reflect on how information literacy teaching and teacher preparation may change on higher education campuses if information literacy is widely recognized as a discipline.
Moderators: John Budd (University of Missouri), Karen Kaufmann (University of South Florida), and Clarence Maybee (Purdue University)
